    Solidworks PDM Error

    A sister company of ours has a problem with their ePDM. They are getting an error that says: Failed to register the COM DLL 'C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Local\SOLIDWORKS\SOLIDWORKS PDM\Plugins\EPDM\{C52D573B-057B-4CB3-A357-4FE5-31251826}\Dispatch64.DLL'. "Could not load file or assembly...

    Photoview Color Differences

    I don't get to play with Photoview very often, so when I was asked to see what we could do with it I jumped on the opportunity. Worked with my solidworks model, finished applying all of my textures and color and was extremely happy with the output. Pushed the final render button, decided the...

    Routing &amp; Spool Piece Drawings

    Early in the beginnings of setting up our routing library our reseller suggested to take our flanges and create assemblies that included the flanges, gaskets, & fasteners so that when we put them in (and we use quite a bit of them) it was a simple drag and drop just like an elbow or reducer and...

    Creo Conversion Error

    I've been asked to save a solidworks file as a step so that a customer can convert it from ProE and then to Creo. In the process he tells me, "The file opens fine, but it's all wireframe." I'm not sure what to tell him. Without his software, I can't replicate his error, everything shows up...

    Routing: Pipe routes not terminating at fittings

    I know with tubing that you can specify an end length adjustment and that the tube will stick out that much farther then a fitting. But this option isn't there with piping. My problem is that I've got several intersections (Tees and Elbows) where once I exit my route sketch, the pipe doesn't...

    Non-Speedy File Saves

    Has there been anyone that has experienced a save time increase when saving a file that has an assembly created with the routing add-in? The raw assembly saves almost as fast as I push the save button, as soon as I add a routing assembly, the save time climbs to 10 minutes+. I never...

    Saving Assembly Files as Parts

    I know this is going to possibly be a fairly open ended question, but I was curious as to what the assemblies/computers go through when saving to a part. We have fairly considerably sized models with thousands of parts, most of them located in routing sub-assemblies. Occasionally when we...

    Dual Monitor Software OpenGL Option

    I'm currently running two monitors, with one being a widescreen. The settings between the two are identical except for the resolution (1600 x 1200 vs 1920 x 1200). The widescreen is my secondary monitor where I have solidworks most of the time. If I have solidworks on my primary monitor, I...

    Part not showing in all views

    I have an elbow that I've used multiple times in multiple routing assemblies and its never caused me problems. In my current drawing however, this elbow won't show up in every view of a drawing created from the assembly. It'll be in the top, left, and isometric views, but it won't be in a...
